A man's wallet and over $150 in cash vanished from his workplace, but this wasn't a mystery for long. Security cameras quickly identified a co-worker as the thief, catching him red-handed. When confronted, the suspect played dumb, but he had no idea the camera recorded a crucial detail that would make his story completely fall apart. >> So, the victim is on his way here. >> Okay. >> Um suspect is on on site. Doesn't doesn't know we're here for him yet. >> Okay. >> So, we're just waiting for the victim to get here. >> Do you have the video footage of it? >> Yeah. >> Have you looked at it yet? >> No, not yet. I just got the email so we can go ahead and start sending the links. >> Evidence is not compromised. >> All right. >> Where was it taken out of? >> Your manager's office. >> Okay. Where is How far out is the victim? >> He said he was 5 minutes away. >> Okay. And where's the person that supposedly took it? >> They were on property. >> Where on property? >> He's in the tunnel right now, loading carts. >> Is that where he's at? >> Keep him there. >> So, when did this happen? >> What was it, Saturday? >> When did it When did you lose it? >> Yesterday. >> Yesterday. >> Yesterday. >> He looked right at the camera, too. >> You got that picture? >> Got it. He goes in first, opens it up, looks at the cash, then throws his shirt on top of it, comes back in later, grabs it, walks out, and then goes into my electrical room. Looks right up at the camera, tucks it in between the compressors. It looks like that's where he pulls the money out and >> Where did he go after that? >> He grabbed the wallet, went right back to the office, and put the shirt on the desk and not the wallet. >> So, he took the cash in the wallet or just the wallet? >> He took the straight wallet. >> No, wallet's gone. >> Okay. How much cash, do you know? >> I'd exact that it was $165 that he told me. >> And what's going to happen with the employee? >> Terminated, for sure. >> Today? >> Yep. >> Are you going to want him trespassed from the property? >> Yep. And I guess whatever Zach wants to do. Normally in this case we arrest him. >> Okay. >> I don't know, you know, it's a misdemeanor. >> Yeah, it's a misdemeanor now. >> Yeah, that's what I thought. >> So, if he has a local address uh and he wants to press charges, then I'll cut him with an NTA, which is a notice to appear. So, basically he doesn't get arrested. >> Yep. >> Give him a court date and then we send him on his way. But, if you want him trespassed before he leaves, we'll trespass him from the property. >> Yeah, he's trespassed. Proper procedure. We have to have trespass him. >> Okay. >> So, we terminate him with trespassing. >> Um >> I'm just so confused with what's going on. >> What's that? >> very confused right now. >> What do you mean you're confused? >> Why why why would he just take my wallet like this? >> Cuz he's a thief and he stole it. >> He's a thief. >> We have a We have it on video.

Because you have your ID and stuff in there. If not, we still have the video. I mean, bottom line is I don't know if the money's ever coming back, but see if we can get your wallet back.

If you threw the wallet in the trash somewhere, you just have to let us know so we can tell him that so so put holds on his credit card, put holds on his social security card and all that stuff. That's the most important thing right now.

I don't care about your record. >> a thief. >> You are a thief. You stole it and we saw it. >> I >> So you're going to go to jail if you if you don't cooperate with us. Do you understand that? I will take you to county jail for 150 bucks. I don't care. I get paid the same way. So if you tell me where it's at, we're not going to play this game anymore. We're not going to go back and forth, talk about last week. I don't give a [ __ ] I want to know where the wallet is and if you don't tell me where it is, you go to county jail. It's very simple.

I didn't have it on my person. I have >> You're You're What you're saying is probably what's true. You don't have it on your person, you didn't You don't have the wallet anymore. I get that. Cuz you had it at some point, now it's gone. Where is it? Where'd you throw it away at? >> I did not throw it away. I did not have it. >> Okay, so what'd you do with it? Let's be honest. What'd you do with it? >> I don't You're going to arrest me over something I didn't do. I have no reason to steal his wallet. I have two jobs. I make my own money. I have my own credit cards. I'm not going to mess with Zach. I'm not going to mess with him. I've been an exemplary employee here. I've never missed a day. I've never been late. I have no reason to steal his wallet. >> So, where is it? So, then where is it? You didn't steal it, where is it? Where did it magically go? It disappeared into the shirt. >> I don't know. She's lost it last week. You lost his headphones yesterday. >> You watched the video with his wallet right here. You put a shirt on it, grabbed the shirt, went into the back room, and came back. And now the wallet's gone. You understand how that looks, right? >> I understand how Okay. >> You were the last person to have possession of the wallet. The wallet is no longer here. You said you went in that back room to look for him. And that video Okay, listen. That video doesn't show you looking for somebody. That video shows you walking behind something, putting something in your pocket, and immediately walking back out. That's not looking for somebody. That's looking to get out of a camera where nobody's going to be at, no one's going to see you. >> You're going to turn a misdemeanor, a really silly misdemeanor, into something way bigger than it has to be because you just won't be a man to be honest with yourself and be honest with us. You took You took the wallet. You took the wallet. We're not talking We We didn't rob a bank. You didn't kill somebody. You took a wallet. We're trying to help this man make sure that his his personal items get returned to him, or at least let him know that they're missing for sure, so that he can do what he has to do in order to get them new stuff back. He needs his ID. He needs his passport. He needs all these things. >> Would you like to search my vehicle? I don't have it. Would you like to search my vehicle? >> I I understand you don't have it. That's why I'm asking you where did you get rid of it at? I don't want to parade you through here in handcuffs, but you're already pretty happy. >> Well, we're in a We're in a private room right now. >> You're leaving me no choice at this point. Just I just Just be honest. What did you do with the wallet? >> I can't believe this. >> Either way, if I tell you I have it, I'm lying. If I tell you I don't have it, I'm lying. >> So, right now you feel like you're so deep in it that you have to continue to lie because you've taken it this far. I'm telling you right now you don't. You don't have to keep worrying about it. Because either way, even if we don't find your wallet, you're still going to go to jail. >> For what? >> For stealing. For stealing. >> You deprived him of his property. It is not your property to be walking and parading around the business to look for him. If you see his wallet here and he left, you have his phone number. Why wouldn't you just call him and say, "Hey, your wallet's over here." Why did you feel the need to pick it up and and walk it around? You deprived him of his property. The way this statute reads, you deprive somebody of their property temporarily or permanently, you just committed a theft, which is what you did. >> All right. So, if you get the wallet back, it's a misdemeanor. >> Yes. >> And then what happens? >> And then we give you a notice to appear and you can talk to a judge about it. And then you go you go home. We take your handcuffs off, I give you a piece of paper, you go home. >> Okay. Can you take these off? I will take you to the wallet. >> Okay, tell me where it's at first, cuz that's not how this is going to work. You're not going to dictate how we control this. Hold on. All right. So, tell me where it is. We can confirm it and I will take those off of you. >> It's across the street in a storage unit. >> Okay, where which storage unit is it? The one right over here? >> Yep. >> Is it your storage unit? >> Yep. >> Okay. Why is it over there? >> Cuz that's where I put >> Okay. So, are we able to get into that storage unit to get it out for him? Is there cash still in there? >> No. >> Okay. Have you taken anything else out of the wallet? >> No. >> Okay. So, you have a storage unit directly right over here? >> Yep. >> Okay. What's the storage unit number? >> 3030. >> 3030? >> Mhm. >> Okay. And do you have a keypad for it or >> I have There's a keypad and a key in my truck. >> Okay, and you're giving us authorization to get that so we can go over there get the wallet. I don't care about what else is in there. I just want that wallet. We'll shut it, lock it, do whatever thing. We'll give you the keys back, all that. We just want to get the property back to him. >> That's fine. >> We can do that? So, the key for the storage unit is in your car? >> Yes. >> Where's your car at? >> It's in the parking lot of Edwin Watts. >> Okay, what kind of car is it? >> It's a Nissan Frontier truck. >> Okay, is the key for the storage unit on your car keys? >> No, sir. It's on a separate key. >> inside the car? >> Yes. >> Okay, where are your keys at right now for your car? >> On my belt. >> Okay. This key right here? >> Yes. >> Okay. All right. And the storage unit is in your name? >> Yes. >> So, everything you told us before was a lie. >> Yes. >> Okay. Why? >> I took it to make him crazy. >> Why why do you want to do that to him? >> Because he makes me crazy. >> Okay. All right. So, did you guys have any issues in the past? >> I always have issues with him. >> Okay. And then so, basically what happened is when you go in that back room, you were putting it in your pocket, weren't you? >> Yes. >> Okay. And then what did you do after that? >> I took it to my storage. >> When you got off work? >> Yep. >> What time did you get off work? >> 2:04, 2:05. >> Okay. And then you walked it over there? >> Yep. Well, I might have driven it over there. >> Oh, well, whatever. You went over there immediately after you got off work and put it in there. Okay. And you said the cash is not in there. Where's the cash? >> I didn't take any cash out of it. >> So, there should be cash in it then. >> I didn't take anything out of it. >> Okay. >> That's what I'm just saying. He's saying >> He said there was $800 in it. >> Okay, well, that's not what he told me. >> Well, wait. Ask Ask the police. Didn't he say there was $800 in it? >> Okay. >> What do you say what was in it? >> I I don't I don't remember. I'd have to look at my notepad, but he said that there was some cash in it. >> So, if you didn't take anything out of it, then it should still be in there, theoretically, correct? >> I don't know what he did. I I >> I'm asking you, because he's saying that there >> I did not take any cash. I went over there and put it in my thing. >> We have a video a little earlier >> Mhm. >> of him opening up his wallet and counting his cash. And then in the video, you could see him open it up, and you could see his cash in the wallet and the >> Okay. >> So, if there was cash in that wallet >> Okay, well, he told me and Blaze there was 800 in there. >> Okay. >> I did not take any cash out. >> He told me 165 earlier today, so we'll confirm that, but there was definitely cash in the wallet. >> Blaze, did he not tell us both there was $800 in there? >> I did not tell him how much was in there. >> Where inside the car is the key? >> It could be in the cup holder or one of the side pockets. >> He's advising it could be in a cup holder or a side pocket. >> It's a round ring with a black carabiner. >> Did you get that? He said it's on a round ring with a black carabiner. >> It should just like I think this one should be loose enough once we find it. >> Okay. So, he This all started because you guys were having issues. You said he was driving you crazy, so you did this ultimately as like a payback to get him >> Yeah. >> Okay. What was your >> It was all a prank on him. >> Okay, so let me ask you, what was your intention? How long were you planning on keeping it? Were you planning on giving it back? >> going to give it back to him today. >> Okay. Is he supposed to work today? >> Yep. >> Okay. All right. Well, like I said, it's it's as simple as once we can confirm that, we get that back. I'll give you a piece of paper. It'll have a court date on it, and then you get to go home. Okay? >> Yeah. >> You can have a seat if you want. >> What Can I just stand? >> If you want. It's up to you. I just don't know how long it's going to take him to retrieve that wallet, so. Have you done anything like this in the past? >> Pulled the prank on people, yeah. >> No, steal. You can call it a prank, but at the end of the day, it's >> It's You're more than welcome to look at my record. >> Okay. Well, I mean, I'm going to because I have to write a report, so. It'll show me. I was just curious. But if if that's what it was to you as a prank, then ultimately, it's it's it's not a good prank because it is theft. >> Okay. >> You deprived him of his property, and he wants it back, so. >> So, you never joke around and hit somebody keys keys on them or anything else before you were a police officer? You never pulled a prank on anybody? >> I pull pranks on people all the time, but there's a difference. You said that you have issues with him. So, I'm not pulling pranks like that on people that I don't get along with. There's a difference there. >> Like I said, he got a $100 bill, three 20s, and some ones with $165. >> Okay. >> Well, he told Blaze and I the same answer. >> I confirmed it three times. >> He said there's a 100, three 20s, and some ones. >> I'm just telling you what he said to Blaze and I, sir. >> Is there any money still left in that wallet? >> No, there's not. >> Where did the money go then? >> David, just be honest. Where'd the money go? >> I don't have the money. >> Did you spend it? >> No, I don't need his money. >> Okay, then why did you take it? >> I have two jobs, sir. >> Okay, but I'm asking you a question because you When I opened it up, there was no money in it. Okay? >> Okay. They're going to get They're literally going to show me a video that shows me something else. >> Okay. There's a bunch of receipts. There's a condom. >> Here, I'll grab it. Here's his wallet. Who's cash out of the bag? Oh. What time is that out? >> That's the same time too. >> All right. What day it was? I mean, that's clear as day that that's money. >> And who is sitting at the thing? He's sitting right there. >> Yeah, he's counting his money. Yeah, but we were making real progress cuz I mean, he told us where the wallet was and everything about that. I don't know why you're now starting to lie about the money aspect of it. >> You can tell on that film that there's $160, but he told us this morning 800. >> It doesn't matter. In your case, let me explain this to you. In your case, the fact that it's not 800 is actually really good because if it was 800 and that money's missing, you are 100% going to jail because that is a felony. So, the fact that it's not 800, you should probably be thanking your lucky stars right now. >> You know what? I will go get him $165. I do not have his >> Well, that's $65. >> Listen, we're beyond that right now. That's for the courts to address. All right? I just don't get why you're picking and choosing when you want to be honest and when you want to lie. >> I'm >> At this point, it is what it is. >> can see right there that there's $800 in >> No, the amount of money is irrelevant at this point. If he told you 800, that's what he told you, but he's telling us right now under oath that it's not 800. And when I asked you earlier, you said you took nothing out of it and I said, "Okay, so theoretically, there should be money in there." Now you're saying there's no money. I'm just trying to get the point across. >> in there, there was no money, sir. Okay? When I looked in it. So I don't know what happened between the time he counted that or what. But if it's $165, I'll go out I'll go to the bank right now and give it to him. I I don't need his money. >> Okay, well let me ask you this. It was a prank. Well let me ask you this. If you didn't take his money, why are you so willing to pay back? Who's willing to just shell out $165 if they didn't take it? >> Why don't you ask him how much [ __ ] I buy from the grocery store? >> Okay, well we're getting off topic. Okay. >> The dude always needs money. >> Okay. >> Why ask him that? Ask him if I've ever >> I don't have Look, I don't have to ask him that. It's irrelevant. It has nothing to do If you bought him stuff from the store in the past, that's that's between you two. And if that's part of your frustration that led to this, then that's unfortunate. But if you felt like this was part of it leading up to it, why you felt the need to do this, then you probably should have told him, "Look, I'm not going to buy you stuff anymore." Instead of do going to this route, because now it's raised to the point of like I said, theft. >> So did you use all the cash already? Did you use it all right? >> Yeah. You know what? I'm just going to say yes. >> Yeah. >> Because we keep going back and forth. >> Yes, I used all the cash. I went to the strip bar, had a couple left dances. What I did. You think this is what you're going to say? I'm being sarcastic. That's what she said. >> I'm going to go talk to him, have him go through it, see if there's anything else missing, and then I'll get the paperwork done and we'll get him out of here. All right, Zach, can you come over here real quick? >> Yeah. >> All right. Take a look at this. Tell me if there's anything missing. Obviously there's no cash in it. >> Yeah. >> So, but apart from the cash, is there anything else missing? I saw your passport card in there. Did you have a Florida driver's license? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> I had an ID Missouri ID and Missouri driver's license in here as well. Yeah, I don't know. I left work a little bit early yesterday. I was talking to her and I called off like a couple of times and I got here and I felt like a little loopy. >> Mhm. >> I don't know. It was the end of the day. I was over it. I was tired. I was going to go home. And then I was like I don't remember anything after that. I woke up and my door was wide open. I have the I have voicemails that I'd like to show you guys. They're really creepy. >> They just left me? >> From him? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> He was trying to like kind of bribe me with like alcohol and whatnot. >> Okay. >> Yeah, that's that's about right. >> What are the things in there with the exception of the money? >> Yeah, except for the money, yeah. He was trying to like take pictures or anything, but >> What's that? >> He could take pictures of all this stuff if he really wanted to. >> Yeah, and that's one of those things that unfortunately you're just going to have to monitor. >> I already I already know who I think it is. That's actually pretty much it. So >> So yeah, just monitor it um and then we'll basically go from there, but I mean at least we got that back for you. >> What about the cash? Cuz I got I >> So I might How much cash was it? It was 165? >> Well, 165. >> Do you remember the denominations that it was in? >> A $100 bill, there was $20 bills, $20 bills, $20 bills. >> All right, one second. I'm trying to think. I So I had brought it to my account. I went to the bank 3 days ago pulled it all out in cash. Most of it in my first bank account. >> So it was a $100 bill? >> Yeah, there was a $100 bill. >> Okay. >> There was at least three $20 >> Three $20? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Maybe like two ones. >> Two ones? >> Yeah, maybe. >> Okay. All right. Yeah, so I mean >> It's like I >> I don't know about the cash, but like I said >> Well, like I said, my my cards are [ __ ] up. >> Yeah. >> Like I said, my cards are fraud. >> Yeah. >> Like the cash is like what I was going to use. I think it's food and gas. >> Yeah. So, I'm going to finish up with him. I got to give him some paperwork. I'll get you a business card with a case number and everything like that. And like I said, I'm going to give him a court date and then it'll go from there, all right? >> Is there someone I can reach out to about this? >> Reach out to you as far as what? >> I don't I don't know what to do about I just feel violated. >> Yeah. Well, that's the whole point of why we're giving him the paperwork and I'm even though he's not physically going to jail, he's still being arrested. Okay? So, just the sheer fact that I'm letting him leave with the paperwork, he's still technically arrested. I give him a court date. If he doesn't show up to that court date, then they put a warrant out and then we can pick him up on the warrant, okay? >> So, I'm I'm up here from Missouri. I'm all alone. My girlfriend goes to college up there. >> Yeah. >> She thinks I'm going crazy. >> Yeah. >> I mean, she uh I told her last night that she recorded like me talking to her. I was I was definitely not talking normally. I didn't do anything. >> Yeah. So, I mean, at least you got this back. You can reach out to your banks and whatnot and tell them, "Hey, you know, I got my cards back so they're not you know, they're not stolen anymore." My cards my cards not mine. >> Yeah. >> I don't I wasn't the only person on my card. That's what I'm saying. I got my iCloud locked. Like I got locked out of the iCloud. I got locked out of Google. All sorts of passwords got breached. >> Yeah. >> Everything. >> This was a couple months ago though, right? >> Yeah, but I'm still dealing with it. >> Yeah. So, but as far as this goes, I mean, that's kind of the route you have to go. It's get new cards sent to you or see if maybe or see if maybe they can reactivate them. Now that you got them back in your possession with and you can give them I'll give you a business card with the case number. You can tell them, "Hey, I filed a police report. They apprehended the male that had it." You know, and see if maybe they can just reactivate the cards for you. All right? >> I want to I want to put the results of this that was in my bag last night. I don't know what that was. weird dragon thing I found in my apartment. >> It was in your bag? >> Yeah. That was one that was hooked up to my AC about a month ago. >> Okay. >> I can tell because it always like it makes my TV like go on a different channel. >> Okay. >> It'll be weird. The TV will change channels. The phone will like not have service. Like it'll go into some different mode where I can't contact anyone else. >> Okay. All right. Yeah, I don't know about that. So, let me let me get him some paperwork. We'll get this at least cleared up and then we'll go from there, okay? >> So, the theft like He's going to like prosecute me and my money bag or what? Like >> Well, that's what this whole prosecution is. It's all being lumped under a theft. >> Okay. >> Okay? So, the the money, the wallet, everything like that, even though you got it back, he's still being charged with the theft of it all. >> Did you get it? >> Okay. >> Huh? >> Did you get it? >> It was in a storage unit. >> Nice. >> So, basically that's where we're at with it. So, like I said, yeah. >> The forward? >> So, I'm going to get him some paperwork. I'll get you a business card and at the end of the day when I give him a court date, he's going to have to go and address why he had possession of it and all that kind of stuff. The judge will then determine as far as restitution, all that kind of stuff, but that's got to be addressed in court. We can't do that here now. We got at least we got the wallet back with the cards, everything like that. And right now you're out the money, which is unfortunate, but that'll get that'll get rectified in court. >> I can like save like this? These voicemails and whatnot? I mean he just like randomly calls me like nonstop. >> Okay. >> David, David, David, David, David. >> Okay. >> Like why? >> Yeah. >> And they're they're weird. Like they're >> So, it's up to you if you want to save them. You could also block his number so that way he can't contact you again. >> It keeps doing like I I blocked I don't know. Like my phone's like a like I said, it keeps changing. I don't know what it does. >> Okay. >> But it's the it's on the same service. >> So, if you I if you want to save those, that's fine, but what I would recommend doing if he's doing that, just block his number. >> Okay. >> Okay? So, that way he can't keep calling you and >> Okay. I just want to talk to someone that I can like reach out to about this cuz I I don't know. There's probably more going on. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Cuz I've been dealing with that identity theft and my house got broken into a while ago. I don't know. It's all It's all >> Okay. >> I I just don't want to >> You need to buy him. >> I can't move back home, dude. >> Uh you know, that's a decision you're going to have to make, but for right now, like I said, let me finish my paperwork. We'll get him out of here. We'll get you a case number and then everyone will go their separate ways and then it'll all get it rectified in court, okay? All right. So, like I said, what this is, even though you're not physically going to jail, you're still being arrested, okay? For the theft. So, what I'm giving you is a piece of paper on here and it's going to have a a date for when you have to go to court. All right? So, your your court date's going to be February 28th at 10:00 a.m. at the North County Courthouse, all right? That's 3188 PJ Boulevard, right across the street from the mall. You know where that's at? Okay. You have to show up to court on that date. If you don't, they're going to issue a warrant for your arrest for failure to appear, okay? What I need you to do is just sign right here. It's basically just letting you know that I informed you of the court date and that you understand when it is and that you're going to show up for it, okay? You'll get a copy. >> Yeah, I'm going to give you a copy as well. >> I'm just seeing if I can read your writing, so that's all I'm trying to do. Is that 3188? >> 3188 PJ Boulevard. >> Okay. >> This is your copy. I rewrote it for you just to make sure that you can see it better, okay? Okay.

You can bring that piece of paper with you and let them know, "Hey, I'm here for this. I just need to know where to go." and then they can direct you from there, okay? >> Um have they already told him about employment and everything? >> Yeah, well, I mean, uh he's been notified of being charged. >> Plus, I just haven't done it verbally yet. >> Okay. >> It's 18 months. >> Okay, perfect. Do you have any questions for me, David? >> No, I just want to thank you most for your professional courtesy. >> Mhm. >> Sorry I had to drag you out of bed. >> Nope. >> I apologize for messing you and wasting your time and >> We don't take anything personal. It's part of the job, so. >> there's bigger fish to fry out there than somebody trying to joke out of wallet, so. >> Mhm. >> I didn't think >> if I knew yesterday at this time what I know right now, I wouldn't have done it. It's a bad decision on my part. And uh I can't take back what I did. I can only apologize. >> Okay. All right. Well, just make sure you don't miss that court date, okay? Cuz I don't want it to escalate to something more where they have to put a warrant out for you, okay? >> You got it. >> All right, David. You have a better day. >> All right. >> All right. >> Really, thank you for everything. >> Thank you, too. >> Appreciate it. Thank you for your professional courtesy. Blaze, good luck. >> Thank you, sir. >> Good luck with your drug addict. Have fun. I appreciate your professional courtesy. >> I appreciate it. >> Very much. And I know what you do is valuable. >> Yeah. >> Especially dealing with dicks like me. >> Well, you know, at least you were forthcoming and you gave the wallet back, so that's the that's the big step, so at least we were able to get him his wallet back. So, all right, sir. >> I was going to do it. >> Okay. All right. Well, have a better day, David. >> Yeah, and again, I thank you for your professional courtesy. >> Yep, and just remember, nowhere on this property, okay? >> I know. >> Cuz I don't want to have to arrest you for that. >> That's fine. >> All right. >> How far do I have to stay away? >> You just have to be off the property. You're in this parking lot, that's fine. >> Yeah, I mean, I have no I have no reason to come back here. >> Okay. If you're on the sidewalk, it's fine. But if you step foot on the property, >> No, no, no, no. >> then that's where it escalates. >> You got it. >> Okay. All right, sir. >> want to cause any more trouble. >> Okay. All right. >> Despite his initial denials, the security footage was undeniable. Confronted with the video of him taking the wallet, the man finally admitted that he took it. But the wallet wasn't on him. He had stashed it in his personal storage unit. After officers recovered it, they asked about the missing $162 in cash. The man confessed he had already spent it at a strip club. He was charged with petit theft.
